Repair /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log empty file

I had a huge log (105MB size) in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log and I wanted to start with a new file.
So in SSH (I have a VPS) I renamed the old file and created a new one with the name access_log. These are the commands run in the SSH console:

Code:

mv access_log access_log_old
touch access_log

Now the file is empty and doesn't record anything (I tested again and again). I checked the owner and permissions and everything is fine (as a reference I have other VPS with cPanel and I checked there). Tried to delete new file and rename back the old file but still nothing...it appears as no logs are recorded now.
